Georgia Bulldogs fans are loyal to their football team no matter the distance that separates them from an opponent’s venue.
Despite Athens, Ga., being over 700 miles from the campus of Notre Dame, many die hard Bulldogs fans made the trip up North to see one of the most historic stadiums in college football. Georgia fans made up a good portion of those attending Saturday night’s marquee matchup.
Just look at some of the evidence of the passionate fandom below.

It wasn’t just inside the stadium around game time. Many fans arrived early, wanting to take in the full gameday experience in Notre Dame, Indiana.
